It’s the same in the US The masses are bought in and ignore it Not one of the judges on the SC questions the correctness of the process They just regurgitate

It’s the same in the US The masses are bought in and ignore it Not one of the judges on the SC questions the correctness of the process They just regurgitate the things they’ve been taught and studied There is no more outside the box consideration of the system here than there is in India And this forum is just as emotionally blind to it as all the others

Not one of the judges on the SC questions their place the correctness of the process They do this all the time...in nearly every decision...It's literally their job to question the correctness of the judicial process...

  You can also read their published opinions to see exactly how they came to a conclusion.

They question the correctness of decisions made by the US judiciary system from inside the system They decide if the inside of the box is working correctly in an undemocratic fashion, based upon their biases Not the correctness of the US judiciary system itself Thomas Jefferson advocated for a system that would allow future generations to reasses it’s Constitution and laws, and adjust as necessary We got James Madison’s version of government, who described the Senate as a legislative body to protect the rich minority from the poor majority. Thus the justice system evolved over time only assessing laws and building its existence on questions of property rights and ownership. Not saying it’s scandalous or wrong but it’s only concerned with internal consistency, like India. Look at how the GOP is largely pushing a platform that’s hundreds of years old, with an outcome that resembles the way things were before the New Deal It’s just old guys advocating for their personal feelings. Exactly what the person from India said :shrug:

  >They question the correctness of decisions made by the US judiciary system from inside the system > They decide if the inside of the box is working correctly in an undemocratic fashion, based upon their biases > Not the correctness of the US judiciary system itself It's literally their job to do work within the system. The SCotUS is explicitly restricted to interpreting the laws that already exist and were passed by existing legislatures. If you want massive, sweeping changes in the structure and nature of a law, you need to go to the legislature or otherwise pick up rifle and start a revolution. It is not the job of SCotUS to create new law. That's why they get so much flack for "legislating from the bench" when they make sweeping decisions. They're not supposed to do that, and they typically only do when making rulings surrounding the Constitution itself and it's Amendments.

    In a professional capacity they are. As individuals they are not, but even still they toe the line. While we revere the Founders for being outspoken of the status quo. Contemporary leadership relies on it. And note where I said it’s hardly scandalous. I was really just contrasting it with another posters view of their culture. American culture relies on hewing to what leadership finds emotionally true. Nice of y’all to white knight for SCOTUS though. And get all technical with me, as if you’re educating a moron you don’t even know. Like I said this forum just plays to its emotional biases like the others.

    We must also remember that once we accept the position that SCOTUS can create new law, it can go both ways and not sure your way. Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams both give examples of poker. Imagine a standard Poker game where everyone knows the rule, some win some lose and yet there are no fights. Change the Poker game rules such that the dealer can change the rules at his whim and we will have fights (even though the dealer might not actually affect anyone's earnings). SCOTUS not going out of their way is good for society.

    SCOTUS can't create new legislation. But in a common law system like the US, where court decisions are part of the legal framework, simply issuing a court ruling can result in the creation of new "law."
